Louie Bossi's Ristorante, Bar & Pizzeria is a high-energy Italian eatery located on the famed Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. We all know restaurants where the linguine or the spaghetti is made in-house. But at Louie Bossi's, they're making 14 different shapes of pasta. They're making their own bread and pizza dough. This is the new "hip" place right now from the owners of Rocco's Taco and Big City Tavern.
